RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Donald Trump has ramped up promises to exact retribution on his enemies if he returns to the White House. Our reporter shows how Trump repeatedly tried to weaponize the Justice Department against his rivals as president — and often got what he wanted. https://nyti.ms/3zt3uWv

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Musk agrees to take down accounts, pay fines, comply with #Brazil's request for X/Twitter to appoint a legal representative. Case was about a nation-state having sovereignty over its own media ecosystem in the face of the whims of a billionaire, and it looks like sovereignty won.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Ten years ago today, 21 September 2014, Moscow. The March of Peace against the war in Ukraine, organised by Boris Nemtsov. Tens of thousands of people on the Boulevard Ring with the slogan “Peace to Ukraine, freedom to Russia!”
One day, I know, those words will become a reality.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: File this into your memory.
Google apparently has VETO power OVER Gov Newsom. He would't sign into law a bill making it simple for people to flip a switch to stop being tracked around the web.
Google went at him hard. He folded. And he let everyone know late on a Friday night.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: New from 404 Media: LinkedIn is training AI on users before updating its terms of service. People noticed a new setting on generative AI. I asked LinkedIn, they said they're updating their terms "shortly." They went ahead and trained AI w/o updating https://www.404media.co/linkedin-is-training-ai-on-user-data-before-updating-its-terms-of-service/

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Here’s the PROPOSED new EU Commission led and dominated by @vonderleyen featuring :
- mostly unknown national politicians, predominantly ‘yes men’ (the likes of Borrell/Breton gone)
- predominantly and unprecedentedly coming from the EPP and the right and far right to mimic the EU Parliament’s composition
- overlapping and blurred portfolios (climate, democracy, Mediterranean, etc), a recipe for internal tensions set to empower the VPs
- and unlikely to survive as such the vote of the EU Parliament with an unprecedented number expected to be rejected
Fasten your seat belt! #vonderleyen

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: "I'm not as worried about specific laws or fraud this election. What concerns me is uncertainty, chaos, and confusion, and that fact that our political system will have a very difficult time dealing with that right now."
